I have personally tested this and other have as well.
I tested on my own alt me transport alt in defense frig the amount of inf used in this test was a 100 is when i gave up.
next test was on me and alt in interceptor frig. infantry used was 30 hvys all hardened and 10 elites.
both tests i didn't drop all of them at once and yes i know how to capture ships. some people have said capture is on but my own testing proves this wrong. just to make sure ei asked everyone i know if anyone has or seen any ship captures at all player or ai. As of yet there have been no confirmations of any captures anywhere in at least the last week..
some people say its a small chance %. what i say to that is i tried with 100 inf so either that chance is really low or it doesn't work. i also tried it with elites to the same effect. Everyone is reporting the same things infantry disappearing after about a min. the ship itself will sustain some internal damage but that's all

Yea that happened to me today before I logged off early this afternoon local time. We were fighting Uggys in Sag and someone managed to get 3 infs on me. I jumped back to one of our planets to load my own to prevent it from getting capped. By the time i got back to a friendly planet and started to load some inf, the hostile ones had dissappeared and caused 2 systems to go offline from damage and repair at a much slower rate than normal, but i didnt get capped.

Ship capturing was made harder i believe, after spending a couple hours in beta I managed to capture my alt account, the system seems to be working as before, however I think the chances are tuned down a bit, because it took quite a bit more effort to capture, uhh, me.
The system gives benefit to capturing a ship if system damage to the enemy ship has occured, a few EMP cannons and a flux wave did the trick.

Where in the dev log did it state this??
I mean, if there were changes to something important like capping (that affects a badge), it should be announced, right?

Yeah, sucks for those people trying to get the qualificaitons for the sector command ship. I should have gotten the privateer badges back when they were obnoxiously easy to get. Oh well, my loss.
